The co-founder of id Software is considered one of the creators of the first-person shooter genre, and his technical influence has kept hardware companies rushing to keep up. So it's a bit surprising that he hasn't yet taken advantage of the most powerful mobile device on the market.

John goes on to say that "wanted to do something for the iPhone, but we just didn't have the scheduling or the resources available". He also went on to explain that he was impressed with amount of memory available at 10 megabytes or more, compared to a typical Mobile game at approximately 300k. He even put together a version of "Wolfstein RPG" at just 2.5MB.
